SPARKS.

We do not mean the brilliant
flying particles, the result of matter
in combustion, but refer to those
things which oftimes are the ebulli
tion of temper when two minds in
hot contest engage. Such has been
the case with Mr.. Lamar, Chief of
the Interior Department and Mr..
Sparks the land commissioner there
of. The Chief and his lieutenant
got on opposite sides of dividing
line on railroad questions. Neither
would cross the divjde,-hence the
matter was referred to the President
and Mr.. Sparks was called over to
the White House, a mild suggestion
was made, and letter of resigna-
tion has been furnished and n reply
thereto by the President, with per-
mission to publish it if Mr.. Sparks

We are glad to note IL the col
umns of the Mercury and the NewS,

the B. & o. r. r. authorities to con-
struct railroad either from Alpine

with pleasurable anticipation to

famous springs. The people are to

in this enterprise.

CHAT
ABOUT
CHRISTMAS GOODS.

When one gives a present, the
natural desire is to have it apprecia-
ted, not only as token of regard,
but also for its beauty or utility as
well, and 50 the generous and Judi
cious gift-maker finds himself or
herself in a sea of troubled doubts
over other peoples tastes and has a
realizing sense that there is more
depth to a loving heart than to the
purses of ordinary mortals.
